I saw the videos on Youtube about using the peened screws but I will need to drill and tap partially overlapping the hole that needs to be filled so I am looking more toward welding. Thanks for the tip though.

No problem.. Your comments on local gunsmiths hit home with me.. It's getting harder and harder to find any that actually work on guns in my area. Most call themselves gunsmiths until you ask about bringing in a bag gun and they tell you they can't do that.
